2 t noeacoa along'the under side. of the arm and seat, thereby providing a stron construction. The bolts 19 passing throng either ofthe rails 7-8 are preferably located to one side of the center line of the carrying frame and are spaced apart a distance approximately the distance between the corresponding ends of the slots 17-18. When the bolts are loosened, therefore, the frame 2 may be moved longitudinally relative to the arms, a distance equal to the length. of one slot, without removing the bolts, and this range of adjustment is generally sufiicient to accommodate the bed to the various sized openings encountered. The holes in the.

v fr'ame, through which the bolts pass, are so placed that for the average opening, the bolts lie practically. midway between the ends of the slots. By removing the bolts, the bolt hole which normally registers with slot 17 may be moved to register with slot,

In wall bed construction in which the opening is narrower than thefbed, it is desirable that the opening be as narrow as possible and very careful adjustment is often necessary in order that the bed may swing through the opening without contacting with the sides thereof, or with the rear wail of'the closet.

i claim: I at, 1. In a wall bed, the combination with a wall having an opening therein, oi bed;

frame of greater width than said opening, a carrying frame on which said bed frame is mounted, a pair of arms journaied one as side of the opening and connected to said carrying frame, said arms being provided with slots arranged parallel to the trans- V verse axis, of the carrying frame and bolts engaging in said slots and passing through an holes in the carrying frame whereby the carrying frame may be adjusted tran'sverseiy with relation to said arms. 2. In a wall bed, the combination with wall having an opening therein, as a carry an ing frame of greater width than said opening, brackets bolted to the side rails of saitl frame, arms journaled at one side of the opening provided on their. ends with seats adapted to receive the topand bottom rails so of said carrying frame, said'seats being provided with. slots extending longitudinally thereof, and bolts passing through said. top and bottom rails and slots, whereby the carrying frame may be adjusted transversely as with relation to said arms,
